Re: Dahi Bread Baley on ARYMarina Khan show-Samina
ooooooooooooooh wow..that sounds so good and so much healthier! I wonder if you can get small bread rolls and use those?
Re: Dahi Bread Baley on ARYMarina Khan show-Samina
The daal dahi baray r sooo darn easy. I think mum taped saminas recipe yesterday, will check the recipe tonight and put it up for you.
Amelie how is it more healthy? unless u r using whole wheat bread in which case u will be able to taste the whole wheat bread whixh isn;t even close to dahi baras. Does the recipe call for frying the bread baras or not?
for the daal ones just soak half a mug of white daal in water for a minimum of 6 hours or overnight if possible. drain out as much water as you can without straining it. empty out the daal with remaing water in a blender add half a tsp baking powder, a level tsp of salt, 1/4 tsp heeng if you wish, one clove of garlic, a tsp of cumin (zeera). blend it all adding more water as needed. It needs to be a paste of medium consistency, not runny not too thick. then add lumps of the batter using ur fingertips, i think if u use a spoon they turn out flat. once fried add them in a pan of water (room temp), take out after a few mins once softened and add to your seasoned yoghurt. These turn out great if you add them to sweetened yoghurt too. must have them with imlee chutney. make sure ur blender is really good cos u don't want the batter to be grainy at all.

lol...my mom made this yesterday....i didnt have the dhai bharay dish (but i hear it was good....but the size were too big)...i had the one that was stuffed in keema....that was good....but i still think samosas are better!
Re: Dahi Bread Baley on ARYMarina Khan show-Samina
1 cup gram flour, mix in water to make a batter of medium consistency
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp crushed red pepper
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp oregano (ajwain)
1/2 tsp ground garam masala
1/3 tsp baking soda
1 tbsp cooking oil
mix all the above ingredients in the besan batter
cut out circles of bread around 2 inches in diameter at the most. Cut out two circles from each slice of bread and u should be okay. Do not use bread that is very fresh and soft, rather a couple of days old so it holds up. Now brush each piece of bread with green chutney (supposedly available in the market) or just use any home-made green chutney made of mint/corriander. Dip these bread discs well in the besan mixture so it has a thick layer of besan and deep fry. Ok now the twit is saying not to deep fry but shallow fry instead even though she is deep frying them on tv. Whatever!
Prepare the yoghurt. She didn't tell how much yoghurt she used to I suggest you use common sense. Add 1 tbsp corn flour, salt to taste, about 1 tsp should suffice and green chilli paste to taste. Add some water to thin out the yoghurt a bit, about 3-4 tbsps.
Get some water in a bowl, add a bit of salt and a little bit of heeng to the water. remove the bread baras from the oil and put in the water mixture, leave for only about a couple of mins, remove, squeeze out the excess water pressing between ur palms. Put them out in a dish and pour the yoghurt mixture over them. Top with sweet chutney and chaat masaala.

FF thanks. So you still end up frying them. I thought it would be healthier b/c they are NOT fried...but oh well. it's like bread pakora! hahaha
Re: Dahi Bread Baley on ARYMarina Khan show-Samina
thanks femme :-)
Re: Dahi Bread Baley on ARYMarina Khan show-Samina
your quite welcome. I don't like the idea much myself though. If you guys try it lemme know how they turned out.
Re: Dahi Bread Baley on ARYMarina Khan show-Samina
Why would she put conflour in the yougurt, that doesn't make any sense.
Re: Dahi Bread Baley on ARYMarina Khan show-Samina
I know I thought it was stupid but she said it thickens it or something, even though cornflour's thickening action doesn't kick in till u heat it in a liquid, no?
Re: Dahi Bread Baley on ARYMarina Khan show-Samina
^^ exactly that is what I was thinking and if you want thick yogurt, just don't add water. And wouldn't it taste kind of flour in the yougurt.
Anyone who is planning to make this dahi bara dish, please don't add corn flour to your yogurt.
Re: Dahi Bread Baley on ARYMarina Khan show-Samina
thanks Femme. I think I'll stick to making it w/ my white daal :)
Re: Dahi Bread Baley on ARYMarina Khan show-Samina
Whats this while daal called ?????
i wanna try those.
Re: Dahi Bread Baley on ARYMarina Khan show-Samina
I use the white daal called "urad" daal (its actually from black lentils....the punjabi daal. I add mung daal (without skin) and blend the two together.
Re: Dahi Bread Baley on ARYMarina Khan show-Samina
